Herd immunity kicks in somewhere less than 100% vaccinated (should start seeing some numbers coming out of Israel in the next few months). A sizeable percentage of the population has had Covid already and therefore has some level of natural

You want those jobs, but you don't want people to make careers out of those jobs. Someone in high school should be working those jobs, someone supporting a family or trying to build a career shouldn't be! Not sure how to solve t

The moral blame rests fully on the clinic, but the responsibility to fix the system rests fully on the government (in this case). It's really no different than a production line with a quality problem. You can yell and scream about the
